Do I still have to serve if I already served or have been called to serve in the state court?

Jury FAQ
Answer: 

Yes.  State and federal courts operate separately from one another; so your service in one court does not satisfy your obligation to the other.  However, if you are called to appear on the same date, you must appear for federal court jury duty and notify the state court of the conflict.
